So the greatest common factor 5287,3160 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 295,2998
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 884410
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/884410
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5287/295,3160/2998 is 1/884410
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 295,2998 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(295,2998) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(295,2998) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(295,2998) = ( 295 × 2998 ) / 1
LCM(295,2998) = 884410 / 1
LCM(295,2998) = 884410
